Mexico Industry News

Mexican automotive industry continues to make headlines

CNBC.com recently posted an article on its website entitled, “Mexico stakes claim as hottest hub for auto production. It has been over the course of the past several years now that industry watchers have sat up and taken notice of the astounding growth that is taking place in the Mexican automotive industry.

That article points out that this week, Nissan is opening is second final assembly plant in the country in the South Central city of Aguascalientes. For most people, the name “Aguascalientes” is anything but a household word, but for those cognizant of the rate at which manufacturing in the Mexican automotive industry is growing, it has quite a familiar ring.

Along with Aguascalientes. Guanajuato, Celaya and Queretaro have been eminently successful in attracting automotive industry foreign direct investment during this decade. Because of this development, Mexico is on track to be the source of nineteen percent of all passenger vehicles manufactured in North America in 2013. This represents upwards of three million vehicles.

In addition to Nissan, other companies that continue to sink significant investment dollars into automotive manufacturing in Mexico of late include Honda, Audi and Mazda. At this juncture, Mexico has overtaken Canada with for second place among automotive production among NAFTA signatories. To be even more precise, according to the CNBC.com article, “Mexico is among the fastest growing locations anywhere for auto assembly and parts production.”

Experts concur that the factors that the Mexican automotive industry is capitalizing on include favorable labor costs, and qualified and available human resources, and geographic proximity to the world’s largest consumer of passenger vehicles. Another factor that has been critical in attracting automotive investment to Mexico is the strategic network of free trade agreements that the country has build since it signed the North American Free Trade agreement in 1994. Because of the free trade agreements that are in place, companies making parts and fully assembled products in the Mexican automotive industry can ship product to forty-four nations, at this point, duty free. Automotive producers in Mexico can ship their production to Brazil at reduced duty rates, with some stipulations, as well. Additionally, a free trade agreement with South Korea will give Mexican product access to that Asian nation’s consumer marked in the foreseeable future.

Some analysts believe that the flexing of Mexican automotive industry muscle will exert downward pressure on the number of units produced in the U.S., and Mexico, while others believe that, if the U.S. can negotiate trade arrangements with the European Union, and companies can further streamline operations, particularly in the Southeast, Mexican and U.S. automakers in that part of the country can stand on somewhat even competitive footing.

“The Tecma Group of Companies' services allow me to concentrate on making and selling wood pallets. I have Tecma handle all administrative functions, Mexican Customs, human resources, all permitting, as well as the legal aspects of manufacturing in Mexico. It’s a very good, complementary relationship. They provide me with a project manager, which means I don’t have to deal with a lot of individuals. I deal with one individual, who then deals with experts in all relevant disciplines on my behalf.”

“When we purchased the Dashmat product line, which is the product that we are manufacturing in Ciudad Juarez, we were able to establish a Mexico manufacturing plant with Tecma very quickly. They got us up and running very smoothly under their Mexico Shelter Manufacturing Partnership (MSMP). We like Tecma because it is a stable company that has been around for many years, and looks to be around for many more. Tecma appears to care about our Mexico business' success is very responsive to our needs.”

“Since we started, we have been able to maintain a competitive advantage over many of our competitors that have moved their manufacturing to China by reducing lead times to 4 weeks less than most of our competitors. This has given us the ability to compete on pricing against many of our competitors that have gone to China. We found that in our Juarez staff in Mexico we found a highly-trained workforce with strong background, and the capability to do mannequin manufacturing in Mexico.”

“More than a decade ago, Portage Electric Products Incorporated was faced with the reality that we were going to have to consider manufacturing in another country in order to maintain our competitiveness in the global marketplace. We chose Mexico, as we could be here literally within hours, should the need arise. We chose the Tecma Mexico Shelter Manufacturing Partnership (MSMP) because it provided virtually everything we needed to begin with and support an ongoing Mexico manufacturing operation.”

This quarterly publication will be populated with content that is useful and relevant to readers that are contemplating Mexico investments, have operations already within the Republic, as well as to other individuals that have an interest in Mexico and its manufacturing sector.
